The Group is Hong Kong based trader in non-ferrous metals,principally aluminium and copper,which it sources from a panel of suppliers around the world and sells to a narrow base of customers in China.

The Group was founded in its current form in 2009 by Joe Zhou, who has worked in the metal recycling industry since 1994, when he graduated from the University of New South Wales. After graduation, Joe started work sourcing suppliers for his family’s metal recycling trading businesses. In 2009, Joe refocused the activities of the Group to concentrate on suppliers and customers that were not connected to him or his family.

Both Joe and his family continue to be interested in a number of metal recycling businesses which are separate from the Group. The Directors consider that this gives a strong advantage to the business both in terms of providing market knowledge and in terms of developing enduring relationships with customers and suppliers.
